National Committee for the Administration of Gaza
Interim government for the Gaza Strip
The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG; Arabic: اللجنة الوطنية لإدارة غزة) is a transitional body mandated by the United Nations to manage day-to-day operations of the civil service and administration in the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the Gaza war and its related peace plan. It is intended to succeed the current Hamas administration in Gaza. The NCAG is composed of independent Palestinian technocrats and is supervised by the Board of Peace.
With members of the NCAG elected and agreed upon by the Palestinian factions, and vetted by Israel, the committee itself formally began work in Egypt on 16 January 2026, with Ali Shaath as chief commissioner. However, the NCAG's assumption of de facto governance in Gaza has been delayed, with Israel blocking committee members from entering the territory, and initial plans for a speedy transition of power falling through.
In July 2026, Hamas announced the dissolution of the Government Emergency Committee, saying the move was intended to allow the NCAG to assume administration of Gaza.
Background
The Gaza war began in October 2023 following a series of coordinated armed attacks carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups in southern Israel on 7 October 2023. United States president Donald Trump proposed a 20-point peace plan in late September 2025, which was accepted by both Hamas and the Israeli government, resulting in a ceasefire coming into force in the Gaza Strip on 10 October 2025.
The idea of the NCAG itself originates from an earlier proposal of a "Community Support Committee" under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority (PA); this plan had been agreed on by the Palestinian factions during intra-Palestinian talks in October 2024.
Formation
Negotiations and selection process
The Gaza peace plan, unveiled by Donald Trump on 29 September 2025, proposed that "Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza".

Why this record matters

The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities.

The first chronological checks are 2026, 2023, 2025 and 2024.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
